Nov 09EAT / LOVING HUT
When the results of the Fashion Intel survey were in, one of top things readers wanted to see were the places I go to in L.A. and the surrounding areas. Welcome to the very first, Places to Go.
How can you go wrong with a place called Loving Hut? You cannot. Especially when it is run by people who follow the Supreme Master – Ching Hai – who has been described as “part Buddha, part Madonna”. If you have never visited the Supreme Master TV website, then you haven’t lived! Please check it out and report back. Ha, they even play that station in the restaurant. If you find to that you start slipping away into a cult state of mind, then we’re in the same boat. It is indescribably weird and fascinating.
Loving Hut serves delicious vegan good. Since I’ve decided to drastically change my meat intake, it is great to have a restaurant down the street that offers delicious Vietnamese bun thit nuong (though the noodles weren’t vermicelli), veggie curry and faux chicken tenders. Even with as much as I cook, it is so nice to go somewhere with delicious menu options. Plus, nothing is over $10.
For those of you who know me, you know that I’m all about the drink and this place has some of the best. May I suggest the rose lemonade (pictured above) or the piña colada that Asael got. Amazing. Save the planet and watch this hilarious video. How many of the 15 languages on the screen can you read?
